Brooklyn Optometry
If you are experiencing blurry vision, it is vital you visit your eye doctor to ensure your eyes are in good health, and that it is not an underlying symptom of a more serious condition. Although your blurry vision may be due to something as simple as general near- or far-sightedness, it could also be the early signs of cataracts. A visit to the
Brooklyn optometry practice of Vista Vision Optical for cataract testing will help determine and treat whatever the cause of your blurred vision may be.
Although your vision loss may be due to something as simple as general near- or far-sightedness, it could also be the early signs of cataracts. A visit to our eye doctor for vision testing will help determine and treat whatever the cause of your vision loss may be. Cataracts are common in older-aged patients, and develop slowly. Cataracts do not disturb eyesight early on, but eventually will interfere with vision, so it is important to have your ophthalmologist regularly evaluating your eye health. Cataracts, which can be caused by disease, are a gradual thickening of the natural lens inside the eye, which can cloud, distort, and impair vision. At first, stronger lighting and eyeglasses can help you deal with this condition. But if impaired vision interferes with your usual activities, you might need cataract surgery. Eventually, if left untreated, cataracts will cause blindness. If visual loss is significant, surgical removal of the lens may be warranted. Cataract surgery is the most common eye surgery. During this procedure, a self-sealing small incision is performed, which does not require suture closure and is thus termed "no stitch cataract surgery." Your ophthalmologist will remove the cloudy lens and implant an artificial, intraocular lens. At our
Brooklyn optometry practice, we are also proud to offer new advanced technology intraocular lenses (IOLs), which are designed to reduce or even eliminate your need for glasses following cataract surgery in. Also, for patients with low to very high amounts of astigmatism, TORIC IOLs are used to correct the vision. The entire cataract surgery process is completed in less than half an hour and is performed under local anesthesia.
Early diagnosis and treatment can minimize or prevent cataract-related vision loss. That’s why it is so important to get your eyes examined regularly. The search for a
Brooklyn optometry practice that specializes in cataract surgery doesn’t have to be as cloudy as your vision; Vista Vision Optical is clearly the destination for your corrective and cataract surgery.
